How the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class works
Here's how the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class works:
Automatic Tiering:
- S3 Intelligent Tiering automatically monitors access patterns and moves data between three access tiers - Frequent Access, Infrequent Access, and Archive Access - to optimize storage costs.
- There is a small monthly monitoring and automation charge for using this storage class.
Access Tiers:
- Frequent Access Tier: Designed for frequently accessed data, providing low-latency and high-throughput performance.
- Infrequent Access Tier: Designed for infrequently accessed data, with lower storage costs.
- Archive Access Tier (optional): Designed for rarely accessed data, with the lowest storage costs but higher retrieval costs.
Automatic Archiving:
- You can optionally activate the Archive Access tier, which will automatically archive objects that have not been accessed for a minimum of 90 consecutive days (up to a maximum of 730 days).
- Archived objects can be restored within 3-5 hours using standard retrieval, or within minutes using S3 Batch Operations.
No Retrieval Charges:
- There are no retrieval charges when objects are moved between the access tiers within the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.
Recommended Use Cases:
- S3 Intelligent Tiering is recommended for data with unknown, changing, or unpredictable access patterns, such as data lakes, data analytics, and new applications.
